RAM Upgrade

[mrfrosty]

I have just thrown an extra 512Mb into my 20" iMAC to take it upto 1Gb.
I dont really do anything serious on it, just safari, mail, itunes (admittedly with a quite large database), flash8, iPhoto and a highly recommended app called "clutter" . But you can really tell the differnce it's got loads more zip !! If anyone is wondering if it will help, just buy it !! I got mine from Crucial only about £35 quid.

I made the jump from 512 to 1.25gb on my Powerbook. That was by far the best $120 I've spent in a while.

Wonder what would happen if I bumped up the 96 megs I've got in my Bondi Blue...

Extra RAM can never hurt...

Does anyone know if the current PBs have 2x256 or 1x512? Hopefully the new Intel PBs will have either 1x512 or 2x512, making it easier to upgrade to 1-1.5GB. You really need 1GB to run OSX with a reasonable number of apps open at the same time.

The 12" PB has 2x256, 1 Built in and one in the expansion bay. The 15" and 17" inch have 1x512 Built in.

I tell you someing though....this is my first ever MAC after a lifetime of PC's and I just want to stand and swear really loudly, do you know what i mean? I fired up an new app I found tonight tonight and just kept looking at the screen, saying "f*****g hell" and smiling !!! It's just soooooooo stunningly good looking in everything it does
